A pair of black-clothed brothers walked in the dark shadows, and the narrow road winded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Descending along the narrow road, Xiong Daiying was a little anxious and walked ahead.

Red Shadow seemed to be fearless, following behind.

In order to find the master, they had just run around the Blackstone Fort, circled twice, and even turned around the stables, the back kitchen, and the barracks of the guards...... There was no trace of the master back and forth, and they returned to the staircase connecting the upper and lower floors, and when they found the arsenal of weapons, Xiong Daiying found a secret door, and when they went inside, they found that there were stone walls on the left and right sides, and they could only go all the way forward, and after walking for a long time, they came to a dark cellar where they could not see their fingers.

Xiong Daiying didn't believe that this was the end, he closed his eyes, stretched out his hands, and began to search for the stone wall in the dark, until he touched a wall of felt hanging on the wall, he gently lifted it, and sure enough, he found the mechanism below, pulled the iron ring hard, and what appeared in front of him was a hidden secret passage that did not see the light of day.

Entering the secret passage, the salty and wet cold air blows through.

Xiong Daiying's heart was actually twisted into a ball. It's not a good sign that I've been separated from my master for so long. He couldn't tell if his master had entered the secret passage, and he had no idea where it would lead them in the end.

Seeing Xiong Daiying hesitating, Chiying became impatient, walked up from behind, and bumped Xiong Daiying's shoulder when he overtook him.

Xiong Daiying frowned, Lianying and Phantom were sent back to Beijing by themselves, this time they went to the island first, and Lord Shikage suggested that Red Shadow accompany him. said that he was assisting himself, but Xiong Daiying knew in his heart that this was a restraint. Although he was under his own command this time, there were not a few people like Red Shadow who were only loyal to Lord Shikage, and they would not easily obey their orders.

Xiong Daiying reminded himself of what was the most important thing at the moment, and he exhaled deeply and continued to move on.

Suddenly, Red Shadow stopped, and they all heard voices from far below, the sound of straw sandals and the sound of people talking.

Xiong Daiying and Red Shadow disappeared into the darkness next to them at great speed.

Two figures walked up, one holding a torch, and the light of the fire flickered.

By the light of the fire, Xiong Daiying saw clearly that on both sides of the secret passage were thick black granite stones, stacked on top of each other as tall as giants, as if this place could be called "Black Stone Castle".

The voices of the two people echoed.

"Boss Xi came to the castle today, but I didn't expect to scold us. One person said, "I haven't seen him lose his temper so much in all these years......

"I heard that the turtle island, Miying has also been in business for many years, how can you let the two new ones on the island give their old nest and kill a piece of armor without leaving it?" The second voice was obviously a northern accent.

"That's the biggest fat difference on the island! I think he's been comfortable for too long, and the tiger still has time to nap, not to mention him, and the bunch of fools under him...... the first voice said.

"Or Boss Xi can be so angry!" The accented voice said in a thicker voice, "You rabbit cubs, if you don't want to mess things up, give Lao Tzu a twelve-point spirit, otherwise Miying will be your fate tomorrow!"

Another laughed and said, "You really learn like that!"

A few seconds later, the man with the torch came into Xiong Daiying's line of sight down the stairs, his companion following him. Xiong Daiying clung to the black rock, his eyes fixed on the two, and under the light of the torches, he could see clearly, although they were wearing half-cloaked cloaks, they were both wearing prisoners' clothes.

Xiong Daiying thought to himself: Listening to what they said, their identity should be the iron brand among the prisoners on the island, and the old man Xi in their mouth is the head of the iron brand?

As they spoke, they walked, and they did not see two black shadows that were as motionless as stones, just a few feet away from them.

The man with the accent said, "Why did Boss Xi just say a few words and leave in a hurry?"

The man with the torch replied: "I heard that there was a rumor in the fort that there was an adult from above, and Boss Xi said that he wanted to go and see, so he left, and he looked weird and nervous!"

"You've been making iron brands longer than me, since they all say that the people who went to the island this year are very powerful, is there any way to spend it safely?"

"It's not easy. The person with the torch smiled and said, "Those who go to the island, those who have poor kung fu, those traps, traps, and poisons on the island are enough for them, and if they have good kung fu, you simply send 'wooden signs' for them to kill, and if you kill enough, you will naturally leave the island." ”

"To send so many people to death?"

"Brother, even if you die, you will send a new person next year. You just keep some young and capable, or you have a skill......"

"Little brother understands. ”

"When they get to Little Black Mountain, that's where the fun is......"

“...... Cannibalism ......"

As the light dimmed and the sound faded, they reached the top of the narrow ladder, where they heard a low rumbling sound of a large stone slab sliding slowly. In the end, everything was calm, Xiong Daiying walked out of the darkness, thinking carefully about the conversation between the two just now.

Without saying a word, Red Shadow walked down first.

After walking for a long time, Xiong Daiying didn't know where he was in the depths, and this road was like a straight staircase to the eighteenth layer of hell.

The narrow road began to widen, torches were set up a few steps apart from the black stone walls, and the gray smoke wafting in the air was faintly recognizable, and their shadows were staggered on the walls, and in front of them was the exit.

The field of view suddenly became empty, and after entering, the two realized that it was a huge black stone cave that had been excavated. Look up at the end of the cave there is a boxy brown wooden house, there is a square brick platform under the stone steps in front of the house, the circular pattern in the center of the platform is carved is the black mountain basilisk, there are some wooden shelves on the side of the platform, there are various weapons and armor inserted on it, it looks like a place for practicing martial arts. On the left and right sides of the platform stand three stone pillars, on which a huge brazier is placed, illuminating the three large characters on the wooden house, "Council Hall". This seems to be the place where the iron brand usually gathers to discuss things, and it is actually built in the depths of the Blackstone Castle.

The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, Red Shadow and Xiong Daiying glanced at each other, and the two went straight to the wooden house.

The brown double door was so open, and when I leaned in, I didn't see anyone. The structure of the hall is simple, with eight square wooden pillars supporting the girders, and the roof is decorated with dozens of log columns. There is a wooden door frame on each side of the door, and there are steps leading to the second floor. At the top of the center of the hall is a long wooden table, behind which is a Taishi chair covered with mink.

There are four wooden chairs on the left and right sides of the bottom, two of which are leaning together in the middle, and the two chairs on the left and right are separated by wooden coffee tables. Behind the chairs are two rows of long wooden benches.

Xiong Daiying looked into the middle of the hall, which was directly connected to the upper floor, and there was a huge brazier in the hall, and the charcoal in it was still burning, crackling.

Xiong Daiying flew vertically, jumping directly from the house to the second floor, there was only a circle of wooden fences and narrow passages on it, presumably because there were too many people in the hall to discuss the matter, and someone would go up to the second floor.

The wooden house was not large, and there was no decoration, and in some places even the walls had fallen off because of the dampness, and they went up and down a few times but did not find any dark rooms.

Xiong Daiying picked up the belt of the night robe with his fingers and rubbed it in his hand, the belt was embroidered with "Pair of Jin Weeping Lotus", which was the pattern drawn by the master himself for him, and he was thinking about something.

Red Shadow spoke at this time, and he muttered, "How can there be nothing?"

Xiong Daiying also had this question in his heart. Because Ishikage-sama's news has always been reliable, and nothing has ever gone wrong. But why do you think that Yue Yu'er will not be locked up in the Black Stone Castle at all, the garrison here is too lax, even if there are some organs and secret passages, they are not some kind of clever things that take souls and chase lives, even if they want to play tricks, Li Qing will not be so big, he will never put the treasure in a place where there is no protection at all.

Xiong Daiying said: "We have searched all over the top and bottom, so we have to turn over every stone in this black stone castle to find it, I don't think this black stone castle is like a place to place treasures." ”

Red Shadow has been following Lord Ishikage for many years, and he doesn't believe that the information will be wrong, so he said, "Lord Ishikage said that we should come in during the day, when a large number of guards are on the island, who asked you to change your plan and suddenly follow that Lord of the Ruler to spy at night." ”

It was the idea of the Hong gang leader to follow Wang Shu into the fort to investigate, and the master also agreed, and the red shadow didn't know it.

Red Shadow said unwillingly: "This Black Stone Castle is so big, who knows where there is a hidden mechanism, during the day, it is easier to find!"

There is no master, and there is no sword whereabouts.

Xiong Daiying made a decision and said, "Let's go back the same way, it is estimated that the master is still on it." ”

Walking out of the door, Xiong Daiying took a few steps to the brick platform.

The red shadow did not move.

Xiong Daiying turned his head and persuaded: "Let's go!"

"You're leaving!" Red Shadow didn't say well.

Xiong Daiying let the silence last for a while, and continued: "As a shadow guard, the first priority is to take care of the safety of the master, the sword of Dugu's predecessor, go back and check again!"

"Phew!" Red Shadow spat on the ground with his head sideways, and said angrily: "You still bear the surname of your family, and you dare to claim that you are the Shadow Guard!

Red Shadow's words stung Xiong Daiying, and all the shadow guards used their own surnames, which made him incompatible with other people, so he has been pointed at behind his back, he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said softly: "This operation is commanded by me, this is an order!"

The subtext, of course, is that even if Ishikage-sama is here, I have to listen to me, and I can't let you say no.

Red Shadow said in his heart: If you hadn't relied on flattering your master, you would have won the moon first near the water, and you would have gained the power to command the shadow guard this time, you would have thought that you could ride on the head ......of Lord Shiying!

Xiong Daiying didn't bother to talk to him, there was nothing to discuss about returning to his master as soon as possible, he looked directly at Chiying and said, "I can't tolerate you not obeying orders." ”

After saying that, Xiong Daiying could even hear Chiying's breathing becoming short, and he could feel the bloodshot weaving.

Xiong Daiying turned to face Red Shadow and looked directly at the person who provoked him.

He took a slow step forward, his knee touched a red thread, and the black fabric was immediately cut out, and he snorted coldly, to face a pair, he was not afraid of the bloody killing array of the red shadow.

He used enough internal strength and walked towards the red shadow step by step.

Xiong Daiying's internal strength has a rich foundation, and the bloodlines around him are bounced apart one by one.

At this moment, the red shadow is even more energetic, and his luck is solid.

Xiong Daiying had already heard the footsteps of others in the distance, and he drew his wind-breaking short knife, and his heart must quickly end the entanglement with the red shadow.

To be honest, Red Shadow didn't expect Xiong Daiying to show off his weapon.

Xiong Daiying swung the knife in his hand twice, the blood was cut off, and he rushed towards the red shadow.

Red Shadow's belt had been untied, and the belt hid countless bloodshots, and he stretched out his hands, and the bloodlines were really like a web in front of him in a protective gesture.

It's a pity that Red Shadow didn't expect Xiong Daiying's body shape to change so quickly, and his eyes couldn't keep up with his movements.

In the next moment, Xiong Daiying had already bypassed the bloodshot array, and the tip of the unsheathed knife had already rested on the back of Chiying's waist.

"Follow you like a shadow!" Red Shadow was shocked, this move was Xiong Daiying's "Thirteen Swords with Bones" in the chasing and grappling stunt, each shadow guard had to go through the personal test of the Iron Buddha Hall Master when he performed the task for the first time. Red Shadow had seen Xiong Daiying fight against Lord Shikage, and he had used this move, but at that time his speed was not as agile as it was now, and his attack was not so weird, but now it has become unguardable and powerful.

Xiong Daiying is the most outstanding martial artist among the younger generation and is highly valued. And last time, he watched the big stele wrestler performed by Mr. Zhizhi, which benefited him a lot, and his comprehension of martial arts also went to a higher level.

The victory and defeat were divided, Xiong Daiying put away the knife: "You come to deal with him!" he commanded.

"Who?" a gruff voice sounded.

Xiong Daiying retreated sideways, and he had already disappeared into the darkness. Red Shadow waved his hand, and the red silk in the air disappeared immediately.

A large man in prison uniform and a leather half-length cloak stepped through the door. He had a long scar on his face, stretching from his forehead to under his eyes, and on his upper lips, each with a pinch of inverted figure-eight short beard. His hair was only a ring around his forehead, because he had a tin hood on top of his head, which was riveted into the flesh with iron nails.

The big man was covered in meat, pointed at the red shadow and shouted, "Where did the rats come from?"

Red Shadow was silent, as if he hadn't woken up from the defeat he had just had.

This big man was originally a soldier of the Xiang Army, with a fiery personality, relying on an evil force to charge, and was hit on the top of his head by a heavy hammer during the battle, the helmet burst out, and the wound penetrated deep into the skull, but he also miraculously survived, and the iron helmet fragments were connected to the flesh and skin, and since then they have grown together with the scalp, and the iron skull makes his head look very strange, plus this person's body is horizontal and thick, thick and strong, like a gorilla.

Seeing that Chiying didn't speak, the big man scolded: "Mom, grandma, bear, how did you stir it, can you be dumb?"

Seeing that this punch was worth hitting, he didn't see any movement from the red shadow, but suddenly disappeared, the big man hurriedly turned around, but saw that the red shadow was standing behind him, still in the same posture.

Dahan scratched his head, a little confused about what was going on. However, he has a strong body, and he has never been afraid of fighting hard in close combat with others, and when he saw that the red shadow did not fight back, he always felt that he had picked up a bargain, and swung his right fist, but this time he had an extra heart, and he expected that the person in front of him would avoid to the left, and he followed the left hand with a palm to split. This punch went straight to the red shadow, the big man said to see where you hide this time, but he saw the red shadow hand shake, has blocked a belt in front of him, the big man reached out and grabbed it, wanted to grab the belt and throw this person out, who knew that the belt actually shot out of several red silk threads! The big man looked at the hands that pierced him one by one, and then there were scars on his face, body, and legs at the same time, followed by a poof, blood spurted out, and his own face was covered with blood, only the cold iron hood was not stained with much blood.

Red Shadow stretched out his other hand and effortlessly pulled the man hanging from the blood-silk web, as if he were a marionette, and the man muttered a vague word. Red Shadow closed his hands, and then his belt shook, and the huge body was thrown out of the air, and fell heavily on the ground in front of the wooden house, and the blood cut the man into large and small pieces, and spilled them all over the ground.

Xiong Daiying walked over and looked at the pieces of meat on the ground, there was an iron plaque dyed red with two words written on it, "Scorpion Island", he looked up and said, "It seems that he is also an iron brand." ”

Chi Ying said: "In the end, he was begging for mercy, and there seemed to be something 'fake' in his words, and the others were not heard clearly. ”

I didn't hear clearly, you don't slow down, Xiong Daiying thought to himself. Although he blamed Red Shadow for being reckless, he didn't want to have another dispute, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said, "You clean up here, I'll go to find the master first, and you will arrive later!"

Blood has seeped into the land. Red Shadow said: It's because I saw that it was easy to bury people here, so I threw it here.

Seeing that the red shadow was silent, he knew that he agreed.

Xiong Daiying kept running towards the way he came.
